Lalit Modi Sets the Record Straight: Denies Bigg Boss 20 Rumors and Issues Legal Notice for “Fake News”
Reports claiming that IPL founder and businessman Lalit Modi will enter the Bigg Boss 20 house have been firmly denied by Modi himself. He has taken legal action against various publications and social media accounts that circulated the rumor. This clarification comes just a day after multiple sources suggested his participation in the upcoming season of the popular reality show hosted by Salman Khan.
Lalit Modi Denies Participation in Bigg Boss 20
Taking to X early on Saturday morning, Modi categorically rejected the reports. He stated, “FAKE NEWS. PERIOD. I have NOT been approached for Bigg Boss 20. I am NOT participating in Bigg Boss 20. And I have NO intention of doing so. Amazing how a completely fabricated story can become ‘news’ without anyone bothering to ask the person concerned.”
In addition to his denial, Modi shared a legal notice issued by his lawyers, Hirani & Associates. The notice warns the publications and social media accounts that published the claims. Modi emphasized the importance of verification before publishing such stories, stating, “Perhaps next time, verify before you publish.”
Legal Notice Addresses False Claims
According to the legal notice, the reports suggesting that Modi had been signed as a contestant on Bigg Boss 20 are described as “false, baseless and mischievous.” His lawyers clarified that he had not been approached by the show’s producers, broadcasters, or any representatives associated with the program. The notice further stated, “Our Client hereby clarifies that the said reports are false, baseless and mischievous. Our Client has not been approached by the producers, broadcasters, channel or any representative of the said Programme; no person has been authorised to represent our Client or to hold out on his behalf in respect thereof; and our Client has not consented to, and has no intention of, participating in or being associated with the said Programme in any manner whatsoever.”
The legal notice also pointed out that Modi had not confirmed his alleged participation to any publication. It criticized the reports for being published without proper verification or authorization and objected to the use of Modi’s name, image, and other personal attributes to imply an association with Bigg Boss 20.
Bigg Boss 20 Anticipation Builds
Meanwhile, excitement for the 20th season of Bigg Boss continues to grow. Salman Khan is set to return as the host, with the Hindi edition scheduled to premiere on September 6 on JioHotstar and Colors.
